We won’t get second overall because I believe for this trade we get either 2025 first from the sharks OR Vegas, whichever is worst. I don’t know if it’s top 10 protected or anything (if both sharks and Vegas finish with top ten picks) but I do believe we get the lower of the two.
This is correct but I believe he was stating the best possible scenario we could get. It’s assumed that the Sharks would get the 1st overall
No it could be the sharks pick. Say the sharks would pick 14 and Vegas picks 12 then we get the sharks pick in 2025
He was doing a fantasy scenario where the Sharks pick 1st, Vegas picks second, Tampa picks 11th and we win the cup and pick 32nd
No it is not top 10 protected, its simply the worst of the two picks. In his scenario San Jose ends up with the 1st overall and Vegas ends up 2nd overall.
The Vegas one is top ten protected when it was traded to sharks. In your scenario armourboy we would get first overall because sharks wouldn’t get that Vegas pick
He just turned 22. What were you doing at 21-22? Especially if you made over $200k in a foreign country.I should say I'm also pleased that Trotz took care of this pretty quickly. No headaches or black clouds hanging over training camp. If a guy wants out, don't let the door hit you on the way, it's good to push any malcontents off the bus as soon as possible.
I think it probably helped a fair bit that the Preds simply weren't that enamored with Askarov even before this stunt. He seems like a zany guy, he kept us fans entertained following his antics, but I can see how past a certain age that kind of behavior might wear thin on an organization if the player isn't working as hard on his issues as management would like.
He's ok with it because he's no longer playing behind a #1 goalie with an 8-year deal. Giving Saros the long-term deal was the start of all this. Why would Askarov want to burn a few more years in Nashville. At best, he kills it and becomes the backup. There's almost no scenario where he's the #1.
The path and the money are one and the same. Players want to maximize their career earnings like anyone else. Askarov was unlikely to be able to to that in Nashville because of the circumstances discussed ad nauseum already. I don't begrudge him for looking out for himself. There's plenty of possible scenarios but at least as of now it seems to have worked out quite well for him.
Given Trotz's assessment of him, this is great trade. We got back essentially 2 1sts for a goalie prospect, which almost never happens. Fans often want more, want 1 great asset instead of a package like this, but presumably if there was some stud prospect available in return we would have gotten him. It seems rather unlikely that we turned down guy like Will Smith from Sharks.
Hope they suck enough to win the lottery ball the next draft! No protection. Same w/ TB I think.
Well he's re-building the team identity. Saros fits that picture a lot better than Askarov.
I see. So there is in theory a world in which two of our three picks we are counting on for next summer get bumped to summer of 26.
Trotz sure as heck wasnt about to extend him to 2M AAV for 2 years after spending another season in the AHL.
I was under the understanding that we would get the sharks 2025 first then. The details aren’t very clear here I am not actually 100% sure.
I don’t think so. I don’t see any details on this but there was talk we would get the sharks first then in 2025
No it it isn't what you said. The pick traded was the Vegas pick ... as detailed. You claimed it was either the SJ or Vegas pick which isn't what was traded. Shake your head at yourself and the lack of integrity in your posts.
